Check out our 7 quick questions with Riana:

How are you and what are you up to at the moment?

I'm so good! Looking forward to this last show before I go on maternity leave!

Are you working on any new music and when can we expect a new album?

We are writing and hoping to bring out a new album in 2018 if all goes well.

Who or what has been the biggest musical influence in your life?

I think you can learn from anyone, but when you admire someone not only for their craft but their heart and personality also it makes for good inspiration. Guys like that for me are people who not only sings or makes music but they do it with a purpose! Guys like Retief Burger influences me to know why I do what I do and musical geniuses like Gangs of Ballet and Prime Circle just excite me! And I will always be a big fan of Sheryl Crow.
